LinkedIn QR Code Generator

Paste any LinkedIn link — post, page, or profile — and download a PNG or SVG. Desktop-ready files the mobile app QR doesn’t give you.

Paste your URL above and this becomes your code

The dimmed code is a working sample — it opens linkedin.com.

Open in the LinkedIn app

The code carries the clean www.linkedin.com link — the form Android and iOS hand straight to the LinkedIn app when it is installed. Without the app, the profile opens in the browser instead.

Toughness

Survives ~15% damage — right for screens. More toughness means a denser code — fine here, because a profile URL is short.

Colours

Dark squares on a light background is what every scanner is built for. The white border around the code is part of it — scanners need that quiet zone.

PNG size

Snapped to whole pixels per square, so the edges stay razor sharp. 1,000 px covers a slide or a business card; go bigger for a poster — or take the SVG, which has no size at all.

The PNG drops into a slide or an email signature; the SVG scales to a banner without a blur. Nothing is uploaded — the code is drawn on this page.

How it works

How to make a QR code for a LinkedIn link?

  1. Paste any LinkedIn URL

    A post, page, article, or profile — or just your /in/ handle.

  2. The code appears as you type

    Live preview: scan it with your phone before you download.

  3. Set toughness and colours

    Error correction, brand colours, PNG size, or scalable SVG.

  4. Download and put it anywhere

    Slides, print, email — static code, never expires.

The preview is live and real — the same code you download is on screen the whole time, so the honest test is thirty seconds away: point your phone’s camera at it and open the post or page you pasted before a single file is saved.

Where it pays off

Where a LinkedIn link QR code earns its place?

A specific post, not just you

Point a slide or flyer at one update — not a scavenger hunt through your feed.

Desktop when the app is not enough

App QR is mobile and profile-only. Here you get a PNG or SVG from any link in the browser.

Company pages, events, and articles

Booth graphics and decks that open a page, not a person.

Talks, webinars, and email

One scan beats reading a long URL aloud — post or profile.

On LinkedIn itself

How to find LinkedIn’s built-in QR code?

LinkedIn’s mobile app includes a unique profile QR for in-person connects. It won’t encode a post or page, and desktop has no equivalent — use this generator for those. Keep the app updated; steps below match LinkedIn’s help.

Show or save your profile code

  1. Open the LinkedIn app on your phone.
  2. Tap the QR code icon in the Search bar on the homepage.
  3. Open the My code tab (labeled MY CODE on Android).
  4. On iOS you can Share my code (message, email, or other apps) or Save to photos. On Android, Save to gallery stores a copy in your photo library.

Scan someone else’s code

  1. Open the LinkedIn app and tap the QR icon in Search again.
  2. Switch to the Scan tab (Android: SCAN).
  3. On Android, allow camera access if prompted, then hold the phone over their QR code. You can also pick a saved image — Scan from photos on iOS, Add code from gallery on Android.
  4. LinkedIn opens their profile so you can send a connection invite from there.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is it free, and do I need an account?

Free, no signup, no watermark, and no limit on how many codes you make. The code is drawn by JavaScript in your own browser — there is nothing to pay for and nothing for us to store.

What can I make a QR code for?

Anything with a URL. The common cases are LinkedIn post links, profile URLs, company and school pages, and articles. Non-LinkedIn links encode too; the “open in app” toggle only reshapes recognised LinkedIn addresses.

How do I get a link to a LinkedIn post?

On desktop: open the post, use the share or “…” control, and choose to copy the link to the post. Paste that full URL here. Short lnkd.in links also encode, but the clean post URL is clearer and works better with the app hand-off when LinkedIn supports it.

Why use this if LinkedIn already has a QR code?

The in-app QR (Search bar → My code) is for showing your profile on a phone so someone can connect in person. It does not mint a code for a post or a company page, and it is not aimed at desktop users who need a downloadable PNG or SVG for slides and print. This tool fills that gap: any link you can copy, from the browser, as a file you control.

Does the QR code ever expire?

No. This is a static QR code: the URL is written directly into the pattern, so the code works for as long as the URL does. There is no shortener in the middle, no scan quota, and no service that can go away and take your printed materials with it. If the post is deleted or your profile handle changes, regenerate the code for the new URL.
